Jeremiah 40:16 in Context — Jeremiah 40
14 E lhe disseram: Com certeza tu sabes que Baalis, rei dos filhos de Amom, enviou a Ismael filho de Netanias, para te matar, não é verdade? Porém Gedalias filho de Aicã não creu neles.
15 Então Joanã filho de Careá falou a Gedalias em segredo, em Mispá, dizendo: Eu irei agora, e ferirei a Ismael filho de Netanias, e ninguém saberá; por que haveria ele de te matar, e todos os judeus que se ajuntaram a ti se dispersarem, e perecerem o restante de Judá?
16 Mas Gedalias filho de Aicã disse a Joanã filho de Careá: Não faças isto, pois o que tu dizes de Ismael é falso.
